A Beginner’s Guide to Apple Wallet

With the invention of the Apple Wallet, you need to remember one less essential item when you leave the house; pay in-store and online using your phone for a faster, more convenient check out. First things first you’ve got to successfully get your cards into the wallet to get started! We’ve got you covered with a completely fool proof step-by-step guide to help you get it right first time….

For iPad, iPod and of course, iPhone here’s what to do:

Open up the Wallet app

Tap + or Add Credit or Debit Card

Tap Continue to progress and add your card

Hold your card in front of you device’s camera so it fills the white box. Ensure you hold them still and have good lighting for the most effective results.

Pick your verification method and either tap Text Message or E-mail to receive a confirmation code.
